After installing the new-compiled module to the initramfs, the test computer does not boot as far as it did before, but I can see interesting messages on the console, like this: [ 193.1356342] aufs au_do_cpup_xattr:96:setupcon[987]: system.nfs4_acl, err -95 I compared the kernel configs of Debian 8 and Ubuntu 16.04 and found that that the Ubuntu kernel has an option "CONFIG_AUFS_XATTR", which is not present in the Debian kernel.
